I deeply enjoy meeting with people who believe a better life is possible but lack the tools, self-esteem or support needed to overcome old patterns and create a meaningful existence. In my playroom, kids learn to communicate, manage behaviors, grow confidence, problem solve, express themselves and relate to others in healthy ways. Caregivers learn the language of play, connect authentically with their children, relax and have fun. Adolescents or adults who want to work with me can let their guard down and build a life they are proud of after harmful relationships, painful events or difficulties feeling comfortable in their own skin.

Life can be so hard! What makes it even harder is when we find ourselves with no one to turn to during tough times. Therapy can be a safe place to find support and encouragement during challenging times. I deeply enjoy my role of walking alongside clients, being an encouragement and helping them explore new tools to cope more effectively with all of life’s many mountains and valleys. Through therapy sessions I can help you in finding a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, your past and how all of these experiences impact your quality of life and behavior today.

I created Wholistic Haven with a vision to integrate mental health & holistic practices with a special emphasis on providing access to care for ALL especially the undeserved BIPOC communities. I understand first-hand the influence one's culture has on our identity and how we are groomed to maneuver through society having to mold ourselves to fit a particular narrative at that comes at a cost. Stumbling our way forward has got us this far but we need better tools to become the best version of ourselves.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
